Aotea Track: 25 km in Auckland
The Aotea Track is a named multi-day track in Auckland. The governing figure used here is 25 km (DOC · Aotea Track), not a straight line between towns.
Typical time on the route is 3 days. Grade: Tramping track. Season window: Year-round.
DOC’s Aotea Track. Mt Heale Hut and Kaiaraara Hut. Tryphena is the ferry village. This is still Auckland region — a ferry, not a drive.
The itinerary on this page is the published stop sequence: Tryphena, Mt Heale Hut, Kaiaraara Hut, Port Fitzroy. Cabins and holiday homes load live around each stop; hut and trailhead pins without a town page still search by radius.
Book DOC huts and Great Walks on the DOC system where that applies. Town beds are what this site lists. Carry the day’s food on remote legs — several of these routes have no shop between ends.
Stop by stop
Tryphena — ferry village. Mt Heale Hut — high hut. Kaiaraara Hut — kauri dams. Port Fitzroy — north harbour.
Distances, grades and seasons above follow DOC · Aotea Track. Confirm opening dates, slips and hut bookings on the operator or DOC page before you travel; alpine and West Coast tracks close or reroute after weather.
